They take OSM data and they take Google data and then they mix the stew and
select features which look alike in both datasets. And we say that the result is
derived from OSM? Some other day we say that similar kind of data are derived
from Google maps and no-no for OSM. There must be a secret plan that one day the
Monopoly of City Streets belongs to OSM :)
